Why protests and petitions wont work
Let me explain this to you all...
The TSA, doesnt care that your angry. They dont care about your rights, or your perceived freedoms. Nor does the DHS. Your safety and security is important to them, but NOT in the sense that we believe. Let me explain.
Your safety to them is important so far as the populace doesnt rise up en mass with arms and fight back. Therefore, they use the word 'safety' to mean, just enough courtesy to not piss of 1/2 the people in the terminal, and push you or those around you to act out violently. However, recent events have shown, that Americans can be pushed pretty damn far with out a single person standing up and say 'NO!'
The security aspect isnt for the traditional security we think of, its to protect THEM from we the people. Period. Which is why they dont give out hand guns to every person boarding an airplane.
The courts, have already proven, that what DHS is doing is legal. How so? Every single court has dragged its feet when it comes to ruling on this case. Look how long it took the courts to rule on Mocek's case... 15 months... a case which at most should have lasted 3 months. Try dragging out a criminal court case with stupid BS about 'not being ready' and see what happens...
But because the Govt does it, its ok.
Ino ther countries, the govt is afraid of the people. In the US, the people are afraid of the govt. Helping this veiw of fear for the govt is the media. Our entertainment news. Notice on NOOD, that MOST News sources refused to air people in opposition of the TSA? Notice how they conveniently forget to report the amount of vehicle traffic on road ways over thanksgiving? Notice of the news, has yet to admit that airport traffic over thanksgiving was REALLY low?
Wierd!
And yet we as Americans are supposed to beleive that our news is 'fair and balanced'?
Ever notice how the major news outlets always attempt to discredit blogs? Ever notice how TSA employees are referred to as 'agents, officers, or officials' when they carry zero law enforcement capacity? Ever notice how the media refers to Govt employees/public servants' as 'Officials' This leads a person to believe and to think that the Govt person in question, is somehow 'better' than you, and has power over you. When in reality its we the people who have the power over the govt.
The DHS uses machines that have never been independently reveiwed by anyone outside of govt, and all information regarding these machines and their dangers is classified. Yet we are told they are safe. We are left with speculating the dangers of being in close proximity to these machines.
Lets see...
We now must take our shoes off at airports, exposing our bodies to germs and fungus.
We must allow the govt to do a full background check on us before we are allowed to travel by plane.
We must submit to being physically searched, in the same manner that criminals are. Yet we havent committed a crime, and the bar of suspicion hasnt been met.
The DHS, dresses TSO's in outfits so as to give the APPEARANCE of cops.
The DHS, uses xray vans to drive around our streets to search everyone in mass.
The DHS illegally detains American citizens.
The TSA now patrols major sporting events - Remember the Super Bowl?
You speak out about the abuse and you are harassed with no recourse.
The news calls anyone who goes against the obvious abuses by our govt, 'tea baggers' and conspiracy theorists. Look up the sexual referrence to the term 'tea bagging'
The DHS considers anyone who questions LE, or preaches about the US Constitution, a domestic terrorist. Making ALL of us non TSO's terrorists.
Terrorists, have no rights by the way.
The TSA is now conducting illegal search, interrogation, and detention outside of airports.
The TSA claims to be looking for weapons. However if they find pot in your possession, you will be arrested for drugs... Thought they were looking for weapons?
The DHS operates ABOVE the laws which the rest of us must abide by.
The DHS doesnt answer to we the people.
Therefore, DHS doesnt care about what we think.
The news, you will notice, overall is on the side of DHS. They are NOT on our side.
Look at what the police do to people in philidelpia with their 'stop and frisk' program... coming to a city near you! Notice how the media has COMPLETELY ignored this!
Intimidation, fear of arrest, detention, psychological abuse, sexual abuse, lies and deceite, public demoralization, financial hardship, personal censorship, unwarranted search and seizure of your person, car, house.. belongings...
ANd you think, standing on the sidewalk holding your sign, yelling with a bull horn is going to somehow change what is happening? Really? the 60's are over. Look at the protests that have taken place around the country, and in Washington D.C. Has ANYTHING changed for the better?
No it hasnt, its just gotten worse!
DHS claims all this is to keep our skies safe! In 2005 illegals protested in our streets en mass, our Govt, our 'TSA/DHS' did NOTHING!
Our borders are wide open for any real terrorist to just walk right in but we are going to strip search grandma, and sexually assault our children!
Remember, 80 years ago, a population of people, thought 'It cant happen here' and it did.
Today, the population of the once free nation of the United States, thinks 'it cant happen here' it IS happening here!
